Re: Differences in Translations

Contradiction: one is proud; other is chest-beating.... I guess chest-beating may be symbolic of being proud?
njt:
Gantz 282 驕れる霊長類
Gantz 282 The proud primates

Hisshouburaiken:
Title: Chest-Beating Apes

For this 驕れる means "to be proud" and 霊長類 means "primates", so yeah I guess that's what Hisshou was getting across with that.

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one mentions that the NHK wouldn't cover CG as news and says it's like the olympics (how they used CG); other says NHK covered the story (of the battle), but the story was up against the olympics

njt:
はァ？ニュースが？
ＮＨＫでもヤッてたんだぜ
Get real! You mean the news? There's no way NHK would show CG as news.

中国のオリンピックの開会式と
一緒だッて
Well they're saying it's the same as the Chinese Olympic opening ceremony

Hisshouburaiken:
Kid2: What? On the NEWS?! Even NHK was covering it!
Kid3: Well, they were up against the Bejing Olympic opening ceremonies.

On this one, since it's a continuation from the previous lines regarding it's CG, NHK is known for showing news that can be trusted. It's sole purpose is pretty much *to* show news, and so when the guy says "They even showed it on NHK" For you to get what he's saying I had to put it that way. (Since you wouldn't know without knowing about japan more) Further- the

next line:
中国のオリンピックの開会式と一緒だッて
The important part is と一緒だッて (It's not と一緒に which would give you Hisshou's line) but he's saying the stuff on the news was CG like the opening ceremony of the olympics was CG, proving that even NHK shows "fake" stuff on the news.

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one says the stuff is happening all over the world; other one seems to say that the other tv stations around the world are also talking about it around the world or showing it on tv as well...

njt:
ＣＮＮとかでやッてたけどさ
アメリカでも同じようなこと起こッてんでしょ
On CNN they were talking about how something like it happened in America too

全世界でだよ
Yeah, it's happening all over the world

イギリスでもフランスでも
like England, and France

Hisshouburaiken:
CNN and the other American stations have the same stuff.
So do England, France...all over the world.

Yeah with Hisshou's you don't quite get that the same kind of "Event" is happening all over the world.

アメリカでも
Even America

同じようなこと
The same kind of thing

起こッてんでしょ
is happening

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one says it's an urban legend; other says its legend only in the capital

njt:
ッつーか都市伝説だろ それ――
That's nothing but an urban legend

Hisshouburaiken:
Kids: They're just a legend in the capital.

Well 都市伝説 = urban legend so~

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one says it's a film; other says it's a stage show - are they the same in Japan?

njt
怪獣ショーか！？
Some kind of monster film!?

Hisshouburaiken
A monster stage show?

Don't know where the stage part would come from (maybe an american thing?) but

怪獣
Monster

ショー
Show

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one says he wants to kill him; other says he wishes he could get away with doing that

njt:
てか・・・マジ コイツ殺してーんだけど
Fuck that, I really want to kill him

Hisshouburaiken

Kid2: I swear, I wish I could get away with killing you.

This is fine how it is. He really does say he wants to kill him, but i think Hisshou's is phrased a bit better~

コイツ
him
殺してー
want to kill

んだけど
but yeah...

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one implies the use of an army; other has some type of arsenal; also- one doesn't know when the mission'll come; other has sentence cut off...

njt:
強力な軍備を持ッてる者が地上を支配する
Those with a powerful arsenal will take control of the land.

いつ次のミッションが来るかわからない！！
I have no idea when the next mission will come!

Hisshouburaiken:
A force wielding a powerful army will descend upon the earth and take control. [H: I'll concede invincible, but I still say "descend" is perfectly valid and has more flavor than "invade"]

Kurono text1: The next mission could come..

強力な軍備 A powerful arsenal
持ッてる者 those that have
地上を支配する will control the land
all there is to it. No descending, no invading. Just those with power controlling.
いつ
when
次のミッション
next mission

が来るかわからない！！
Don't know when it'll come!

seem complete to me~

Contradiction: on the news... one says a gang attacks while other says a gang lives there...

njt:
玄野君のアパートに・・・
暴力団ッてニュースでは言ッてたけど・・・
On the news they said a gang attacked your apartments but...

Hisshouburaiken:
Tae: The news said there was some sort of mob gang
living in your apartment complex...

玄野君のアパートに・・・
The アパートに is referring to them attacking/going to, not living.
Then Kurono goes to say he wonders if they live there...

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one has natsu telling kei to say something; other doesn't

でも・・・ハハッ
いいかも・・・それなりッつうか
But... Haha
I guess it works out... since you

うん
yeah

Hisshouburaiken:
So Kuro,
you got yourself a girlfriend, huh?

Heheh...
Good for you,
good for you.
Tae: Hmm.

Yep~ seems like Hisshou forgot the "ちょッと意外かも・・・"

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: loser doesn't equate to a homely face....

njt:
低レベルな彼女でほほ笑ましーーッつか
お似合い おまえら
You got a girl that is as much of a loser as you are
It's almost heart warming
You guys look great together

Hisshouburaiken:
Ryou: A homely broad like that...
Ahh, puts a smile on my face.
You two suit each other.

低レベルな彼女で
A low level girlfriend

ほほ笑ましーーッつか
is heart warming

お似合い おまえら
you guys look great together.

(I added the as much as you part to help with the "お似合い", maybe that was a bit too much )

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one is missing part of a TL...

njt:
亮ちゃんなんで！！
Ryou-chan!!

Hisshouburaiken
Ryou-chan, how could you-

Looks like i forgot the "なんで" part ><

Contradiction: life is unfair vs. that's how the world works

njt:
おまえはずッと負け人生なんだよ！！
世の中不公平だよな！！
You're always going to be a loser!!
Life is unfair!!

Hisshouburaiken:
You'll never win, wuss!
That's how the world works!

literally it does say
世の中
the world

不公平だよな
Is unfair

========================

Quote:

Contradiction: one says that kei waits for darkness; other says he brings darkness

njt:
昼行灯はただ闇を待つ。
The daylight lantern simply waits for the darkness.

全人類に公平に訪れる闇を。
The darkness that visits the entire human species fairly

Hisshouburaiken:
Text: A daytime lantern that only brings darkness. Darkness which puts all humanity on equal footing.

Seems like Hisshou read 待つ as 持つ ><
Which would give you his trans~

Quote:

Hey, what happened to the comparison for chapter 163 and possibly TLing what they say in the Gantz Manual about vampires?

I know I know >< I should have more time to do that here in the next few days

Serizawa: But it's really heartwarming to see such good guys - perhaps not as good as we wanted, translation-wise, but their hearts are already grade A
If you see a mistake in my translations, let me know! Thanks Click a frog to see my Resume!!

Re: Differences in Translations

Yeah, I never went back and redid the Ryou chapter once a non-cam raw came out, so the mistakes you've pointed out are indeed wrong or off.

So a few extra points:

Chest-beating is what apes do when they're trying to show off or intimidate one another. Apes are primates.

I wasn't sure what they were going for with と一緒 originally, although later on i figured if they meant "being aired against" there would've been a 対 in there somewhere, I guess I never went back and changed it.

Yeah, a stage show. You know, like at Vegas or Disney, where you see them do everything live.

Aaaaaand... don't really see any difference on the "insulting the living hell out of poor Tae" part :P

Re: Differences in Translations

So no disagreements with the other parts? (ones that didn't have the crappy cam raw~)

and Tae ;.; don't be meaner than necessary to her!

Re: Differences in Translations

I like that translation of it better. "Low level girlfriend" gets the point across, and sounds cooler.

Perhaps you could include a literal translation in future releases. That'd be interesting.

haha hmmmm nah. I'll go into detail if a person wants for a specific line, but I won't purposefully make the translation any longer than necessary

Re: Differences in Translations

Hi njt!

In chapter 68, 74, 75, 76 and 81 (Hawks/Omanga) of the Buddha temple mission, all the alien language bubbles have been translated, while shocwave leaves them in hiragana in the following chapters. However, those translations are pretty weird (there are lines like "perpoer thizylf" or something like that, wich probably stands for "prepare thyself"). The thing is, I'm working for a German scanlation group (Onegai) and we cannot decipher all of these lines, nor do we have any clue if those translations are correct. And the only thing we could do for the alien language bubbles from volume 8 is to transcribe them.
